Impact of Wall Openings on the Seismic Performance of Brick Masonry Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

Openings may weaken the rigidity of walls in the houses of brick masonry structure, leading to the asymmetrical rigidity distribution in the houses. This may also affect the seismic performance of houses. Five fine FEM model are established in this study to simulate the impact of various openings on the seismic performance of brick masonry structure.
